Disney Plus is one of the most popular streaming services available today. With its low cost and extraordinary collection of movies, shows, and documentaries, it offers something for everyone. However, like many streaming platforms, you can see a record of shows and movies you’ve already watched, particularly in the 'Continue Watching' section.

Understanding Your Watching History on Disney Plus
Currently, Disney Plus doesn’t have a dedicated 'Recently Watched' section. This implies that there is no explicit record of what you have finished watching. However, you will find items in the Continue Watching list without an option to delete them. If you're concerned about someone seeing what you've watched, those titles will remain visible there.
Can You Clear the Recently Watched List on Disney Plus?
Unlike Hulu or Netflix, Disney+ has not added a viewing history section or even an option to delete your watch history. This is unfortunate as Disney+ recommends content based on your past selections.
Here Are Your Options:
| No. |
Method |
Description |
| 1 |
Set Up a Secondary Profile |
Creating a new profile to watch without affecting your main history. |
| 2 |
Remove Watchlist Content |
Deleting unwanted titles from your Watchlist to refresh recommendations. |
1. Set Up a Secondary Profile
If you want to watch a show discreetly or avoid recommendations based on your watch history, you can create a temporary profile. Here’s how:
- Open Disney Plus and sign into your account. Tap the + Add Profile option.

- Select a profile picture and name for your profile, then click Done.

- Watch the content you want. To clear the profile’s watch history, access Edit Profiles from the home page.

- Click on the pen icon next to the profile you used.

- Scroll down and select Delete Profile.

By following these steps, you can eliminate any unwanted watch history.
2. Remove Watchlist Content
You can still manage your Watchlist effectively. To remove items from your Watchlist:
- Launch Disney Plus and navigate to the Watchlist at the top.

- Find the item you want to remove and tap the “Checkmark” button to delete it.

This process may occasionally encounter glitches, but it usually works after a couple of attempts.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find my watch history on Disney Plus?
Currently, there is no way to view your watch history on Disney Plus. The Continue Watching section shows titles you might want to revisit, but it doesn’t provide a detailed list of everything you've watched.
Will Disney Plus ever give us the option to delete our watch history?
As of now, there are no indications that such a feature will be introduced. However, you can fill out the Give Feedback Form to request this option. The more requests, the higher the chance they might implement it.
Why does Disney+ keep showing content I’ve finished in Continue Watching?
Like many platforms, Disney Plus can have glitches. If a title reappears even after you’ve finished it, sometimes restarting the app helps in removing it.
A Bright Future for Disney Plus
Despite some operational hiccups, Disney Plus has launched effectively. With an extensive library of classic Disney content and promising new releases, it’s poised to compete with the biggest streaming services out there.
